Lincoln Highway

Statement:

Home, is it a place, people or a feeling? In The Lincoln Highway, I sought to answer my own intrinsic questions about the concept of home. Returning to my hometown after years away, I felt disconnected experiencing the changes that happened my absence; from a gradual moving on of locals to the absolute gentrification of rural space. My recollections in this changed space inspired me to go in search of what remained, what once was, and what has become of my home. In following the main street of my hometown, The Lincoln Highway, I was able to find to the people and places that developed my concept of home. These re-connections imbued my soul with a new more profound relationship to the past and helped me gain understanding of the concepts of home within people and place. Though home will never be the same as my childhood, this project drove me to find peace in this place as it is.
